Best Star Trek Apps: Official Games and Where to Watch

Search an app store for “Star Trek” and most of what carries the name or the look is fan-made: themes, stardate converters, episode guides. The official shelf is much shorter. Star Trek’s trademarks belong to CBS Studios, and a licensed app says so in a line that reads “TM & © CBS Studios Inc.” on its store listing or on the maker’s own website.

We went through Google Play and the App Store looking for that line. Two free-to-play games carry it, along with a set of paid watch faces. The Paramount+ app comes from Paramount itself. Two other official games closed in 2026, and we cover those further down.

Official Star Trek apps compared

The two games

Star Trek Fleet Command is a strategy game played online with other people. You run a star base, build and upgrade ships, and recruit officers such as Kirk, Spock and Nero. Its main story is set in the Kelvin Timeline of the J.J. Abrams films, and the listing adds material from the original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Discovery, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks. Players join alliances to “dominate star systems”, in the listing’s words, so this is a game played against other people.

It is free with in-app purchases on Google Play and the App Store. The store listings themselves carry no CBS line. The licence notice is at the foot of startrekfleetcommand.com, where Scopely’s name sits next to CBS Studios and Paramount Pictures.

Star Trek Timelines is a role-playing game about collecting a crew. Its listing counts hundreds of characters from the original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Picard and Discovery, each with their own skills. You send them on missions, fight ship battles and join a fleet with other players. It is free with in-app purchases on Google Play, the App Store and Steam, and Google Play adds a “Contains ads” label. The CBS Studios and Paramount Pictures line is in the listing on both phone stores.

Between the two, pick Timelines if what you want is your favourite characters from across the series in one crew. Pick Fleet Command if you want base-building and alliances and are happy to compete with other players. Both are free games that earn their money from in-app purchases, so decide what you are willing to spend before you start.

Where to watch Star Trek

StarTrek.com, the franchise’s official site, calls Paramount+ the home of Star Trek. Its viewing guide lists eleven series you can stream there on any Paramount+ plan: the original Star Trek, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy.

The exception is Prodigy. StarTrek.com says it streams on Netflix worldwide, except in Canada, the Nordic countries, central and eastern Europe, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Belarus and mainland China.

Outside the United States it depends on the country. StarTrek.com’s where-to-watch page gives these:

• Paramount+ has Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy in the UK, Canada, Latin America, Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Japan.
• SkyShowtime has Strange New Worlds and Discovery in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and central and eastern Europe.
• Prime Video streams Picard outside the US and Canada.
• In Canada, Lower Decks and Picard also air on CTV Sci-Fi Channel.

The page names no service for India or for any African country. For readers there, the two lines that apply are Picard on Prime Video and Prodigy on Netflix. Opened from Nigeria, paramountplus.com shows only a holding page that says the service is coming soon. Check the catalogue of whichever service you already pay for before you subscribe to another.

The Paramount+ app is free to install on Google Play and the App Store, and watching needs a subscription. The US listing says that version of the app is for use in the United States only. If Paramount+ has not reached you, our guide to Netflix alternatives covers other services.

Star Trek watch faces

Facer is the licensed source. On Google Play, Facer Studios sells Star Trek faces for Wear OS watches at $1.99 each. We found three: Star Trek LCARS SE, an animated face with a digital clock, a step counter and five colour options, and two designs made to celebrate diversity, Spacely Proud and Big Pride. Each listing ends with “Official Star Trek Watch Faces” and the CBS Studios line.

For an Apple Watch, the route is the Watch Faces by Facer app on the iPhone. Its App Store listing names Star Trek among its officially licensed brands. The app is free with in-app purchases, and Facer says premium faces are bought singly or through a subscription. If you are still choosing a watch, see our guide to Wear OS watches.

Star Trek games on a computer

Steam has more than the phone stores do. Star Trek Online, published by Arc Games, is free to play on Windows. Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a survival strategy game from Daedalic Entertainment, has a list price of $34.99. Both Steam pages carry the CBS Studios line. Paramount Games also has a Steam page for Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, marked “coming soon”.

Official games that have closed

Star Trek Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive is gone. East Side Games posted a sunset notice on the game’s website: in-game purchases would be switched off, and then the servers shut down completely, in 2026. That date has passed, and the game no longer comes up in a search of either store. The notice says progress and in-game items would not be saved.

Star Trek: Legends is gone too. Apple launched it in 2021 as an Apple Arcade original from Tilting Point, and it later came to Steam. Tilting Point announced on the game’s Steam page that Legends would leave digital storefronts and then be taken offline and become unplayable. Both dates it gave have passed. If you searched for the Star Trek game on Apple Arcade, this was the one.

Tilting Point still runs Timelines, and neither notice says anything about the two games in the table.

Why the fan apps are not here

The old version of this article listed ten apps, and most were general apps a fan might use, such as Reddit, Zedge, Google Play Books and Movies Anywhere. They are not Star Trek apps, so they are out. The Comixology app it recommended is no longer on Google Play. CBS All Access does not exist under that name: the app from CBS Interactive on Google Play is now called Paramount+.

The rest were fan projects. The launcher themes from NSTEnterprises are still sold on Google Play, and the listing for the one called TREK: Total Interface says it contains no trademarked material from any show or film. That is the honest way to do a fan app, and it is also the reason it is not on a list of official ones. The same goes for the stardate converters and episode guides that fill the search results.
